Dual Degree Programs

Fisk Dual Degree Programs

澳门皇冠赌场平台有一个惊人的历史与一些国家的精英大学合作,以帮助进一步我们的学生教育. 菲斯克目前与凯斯西储大学和范德比尔特大学有双学位课程,重点是专业预科课程.

菲斯克/范德比尔特双学位课程允许学生获得澳门皇冠赌场平台的学士学位和科学专业(生物学), Chemistry, Math and Computer Science and Physics) plus Bachelor's Degree from Vanderbilt University in Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering. This is a five year program, 前三年住在澳门皇冠赌场平台,后两年住在范德比尔特大学.

In order to qualify for the program, 学生必须在还在菲斯克的时候就开始学习范德比尔特大学的工程课程(不迟于大三的第一学期),并且在这些课程和菲斯克的课程上做得足够好,才有资格进入范德比尔特大学. This requires special attention to the sequence of courses taken at Fisk, so contact with the Fisk Dual Degree advisor should be made as soon as possible.

Information about Vanderbilt engineering programs can be found at the Vanderbilt School of Engineering website.


The Program is a "three + two" Dual Degree Program between Fisk University and Case Western Reserve University, leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics from Fisk and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from Case. 双学位学生可以在凯斯西储大学工程学院主修以下学科:

The student should obtain the form as soon as possible in the freshman year from the Dual Degree advisor, 填好并交回,这样指导老师就可以通知学生这个项目的要求. Note that completion of this form does not mean the student is admitted to the program. 当学生完成了在范德比尔特工程学院开始学习课程所需的工作时,正式进入该计划, usually in the sophomore or first part of the junior year, has completed an application, and has been accepted by the Dual Degree Committee. Continuation in the program requires successful academic progress.
A minimum of 90 hours of Fisk courses are required, including -

  • Major courses (approx 30-39 hours, depending on the major)
  • Core curriculum courses
  • Electives and major cognate courses

The student must major in one of the natural sciences, mathematics, or computer science at Fisk. Usually the Fisk major will be determined by the desired engineering major field at Vanderbilt. The Dual Degree advisor should be consulted on this. A more detailed description of appropriate pre-engineering preparation is available. The student must satisfy the degree requirements for the VU degree, including a minimum of 60 hours of Vanderbilt courses -

  • Major courses (approx. 40 hours)
  • Program electives and cognate courses (approx. 20 hours)

The student will be informed of the specific science, 他/她必须在菲斯克完成数学和计算机科学课程,然后才能转到范德比尔特大学. These courses may vary depending upon the student's major. 该项目旨在让学生在大一期间修完菲斯克的所有课程. 学生通常应该在大二的每个学期在范德比尔特大学交叉注册一到三个小时. It is necessary before cross-registering to apply for admission to the Dual Degree Program. 学生应该在大三的每个学期在范德比尔特大学交叉注册四到八个小时. 所修课程必须是每个双学位课程批准的课程中指定的课程.

By January 15 of the second semester of the junior year, the student should fill out the proper papers to transfer to Vanderbilt University. The student will have all of his or her financial affairs handled by Vanderbilt. This means:

  • The student should have his/her FAFSA information form and PROFILE data sent to Vanderbilt.
  • 学生必须从范德比尔特大学本科招生办公室获得转学申请,并确保其被标记为双学位课程申请人.
  • The student has to have a Fisk University transcript sent to Vanderbilt University.

Once this has been done and if the student has a 3.5 GPA or higher at Fisk and Vanderbilt, both overall and in math and science, the Vanderbilt Dual Degree Coordinator will recommend to the V.U. 招生办公室,学生的录取和范德比尔特大学将向学生提供有关其住房合同的信息.

While a Vanderbilt student, all of the student's financial matters will be handled through Vanderbilt University. The student will pay tuition at Vanderbilt. 学生必须记住,在他或她被允许继续下个学期之前,所有的账单必须在范德比尔特大学每个学期支付.

学生将负责确保每所大学都有他们毕业所需的所有信息. 最重要的要求是学生必须在毕业前的最后一个学期将范德比尔特的成绩单转到菲斯克. 这是必要的,这样菲斯克就可以用在范德比尔特的专业课程代替其他项目的选修课程和同源课程,以满足菲斯克的毕业要求.
